Stoicism: Difference between revisions

The Stoics believed in the [[certainty]] that [[knowledge]] can be attained through the use of [[reason]]. [[Truth]] can be distinguished from [[fallacy]]; even if, in practice, only an approximation can be made. According to the Stoics, the [[senses]] are constantly receiving sensations: pulsations which pass from objects through the senses to the [[mind]], where they leave behind an impression in the [[imagination]] (''[[Phantasia (philosophy)|phantasia]]''). (An impression arising from the mind was called a ''[[Phantasma (philosophy)|phantasma]]''.)<ref>
